What are the Different Types of Peanut Butter?
Peanut butter is a food staple in many American kitchens. Except for those with peanut allergies and the few people who don’t care for the substance, everyone has a personal peanut butter preference for at least one of the many types of peanut butter available today. Sugar-free, sodium-free, smooth, chunky, organic, natural and regular are just some of the various kinds of peanut butter. Regular peanut butter is available in many brands. The amount of partially-hydrogenated oil and sugar varies between brands, but regular peanut butter always has added oil and sugar. It doesn’t separate the way natural peanut butter does. Regular peanut butter also contains preservatives to allow it not to be refrigerated after opening in most cases. There are some no or low sodium and low or no sugar added brands of regular peanut butter on the market today as well.
